Vaser® Ultrasonic LipoSelection™ Overview – San Jose Ultrasonic Liposuction

Vaser® LipoSelection ™ is a refined San Jose ultrasonic liposuction system available at our Mountain View practice, located near Palo Alto and San Jose. Vaser® LipoSelection™ promises less bruising, more accurate liposculpting, and faster recovery than traditional liposuction techniques. The patented probes gently distribute the ultrasonic energy to allow fat to be broken up and emulsified into a liquid. This emulsion is then removed by gentle aspiration with hollow liposuction cannulas. With the Vaser® LipoSelection™ method, the risks of skin burns that are a concern with conventional San Jose Ultrasonic liposuction have become exceedingly small because the incisions are protected by special port protectors made of plastic that prevent friction or heat injury to the skin and allow for improved healing.

All areas of the body can be treated with LipoSelection™, and outstanding results are possible in difficult to treat, fibrous areas, such as the flanks and male breasts (gynecomastia). Since the Vaser® is a gentle way of breaking up the fat, a smoother result is likely in delicate areas such as the inner thighs. Additionally, just like conventional liposuction, incisions can be carefully placed for minimal visibility and are only a fraction of an inch long.

The advantages of Vaser® LipoSelection™ ultrasonic assisted liposuction over conventional liposuction techniques are that it is less fatiguing for the surgeon, particularly when larger volumes of fat are removed. Also, gentle emulsification of fat is less traumatic to non-fatty tissues, sparing nerves, blood vessels, and fibrous tissue so patients experience less post-operative pain or discomfort.
